Kaitlin Pomerantz will facilitate participatory workshops with leaders in land-back and reparations initiatives to collect text and visuals that interrogate value, labor, and care. These materials will then be combined with Kaitlin’s botanical redesigns of U.S. currency that turn the dollar into a space of rewilded resilience for a printed booklet that will act as a catalyst and practical guide toward alternative economies. This project will center dialogue with Indigenous and reparations organizers and will culminate with a printed publication for broad distribution and community education.

Barrier brings together work from 12 artists based in Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey that both critiques and reimagines barrier infrastructures designed to separate or enclose, such as gates, fences, windows, and walls. Through mixed media approaches, including sculpture, installation, video, painting, and works on paper, the featured selections engage themes of property and public space, geopolitical volatility, ecology and the built world, materiality, memory, and diaspora. The artworks on view posit barriers as porous portals, evoking Angela Davis’s transformative abolitionist vision that “walls turned sideways are bridges.”
Barrier is curated by Kaitlin Pomerantz and Lucia Thomé. It features work by Sandra SK Amoabeng, Matthew Colaizzo, Ghida Dalloul, FORTUNE, Rami George, David L. Johnson, Naomieh Jovin, Zach Ozma, Pallavi Sen, Ivanco Talevski, Kristen Neville Taylor, and Levester Williams.
